10 Healthy Breakfasts You Can Make for Under $1

Somewhere along the line, eating well came to mean spending a pretty penny. Maybe vegan cafes and pricey cold-pressed juices are to blame? Yet, thanks to cheap and wholesome foods (hello, eggs! We're looking right at you), it's actually quite easy to make a healthy breakfast for under a buck. The key to making a cheap breakfast? It's all about being resourceful and welcoming food combinations that are packed with energy to provide enough fuel for the whole day. If you're cooking at home, it's totally possible to feed your body the right nutrients and vitamins, while saving money on breakfast.

The price gap between cooking at home and dining out is growing. Resorting to restaurants, bodegas, and cafes every morning is a sure way to go broke. They overcharge customers for the sheer convenience of preparing and cooking a meal. If you can justify the price after adding a bloody mary and tip to the bill, then be our guest. But for those of us with less cash, the basic act of making breakfast at home will save you money. Assembling your own breakfast may call for 15 minutes of your morning ritual, but it sure beats waiting in line full of hangry commuters. (Take that, rush hour.) Looking for cheap breakfast ideas? We got you covered.

1. Baked Egg Avocado

Bake an egg in avocado for a breakfast full of healthy fats and protein. You may need to make room for the egg by scooping out some avocado (and immediately eating it, obviously). Crack an egg into the hole, add spices, and bake at 425°F for 15 minutes.
